[Edited on 26-01-2004 by Daimo B] bold statement. graphs I have seen give the Dbalis kit better on normal rev limit etc no other mods And how many cars is that???? Mantzel box does not produce the power bottom end. Best power is gained from 6500rpm upwards. Seen plenty of Corsas running M boxes, increased rev limits, filter, exhaust hitting 140bhp. Not seen many Dbalis kits do that. Maybe 1 or 2, but nothing like Dbalis. And anyway, u get them through Regal, mmmmmmmmmm nice company :lol: Even though Courtenay are expensive, id still rather go to them as a last resort compared to good ol cowboy regal. Robbo, if the Corsa B kit is similar to the Corsa C kit, 170bhp, 175lb ft, £3500.

	Daimo, since Courtney got the rights to sell Mantzel stuff in this country the price has risen, they now sell the box for £595 but can fit it for an extra £200.

	Put in a new ECU and a throttle cable from a X14XE.

They already sell inlet manifolds and TB kits for the X14. Main problem with the Z14 out of the C's is the Drive by Wire throttle :(.

	Patrick had some shit throttle bodies and was slower than my standard GSi.

Only mods i've seen advertised for the new 1.4/1.8 engines are from mantzel. I would alos not get a turbo conversion from Courtenay. 3 layer head gasket and a turbo bolted on?

	Don''t really want to do an engine swop, was tempted in TB's but every one i know who's had them has had problems with tick over. Sounds like i could get near 120bhp without TB's or turbo anyway. Cheers every one:thumbs:

	lol courtney 'bodge job' turbo ask them what u excatly get for ur 3k? 3 single head gaskets or a nice tripple plated one? or low compression pistons?
vibrio	posted on 24th Jan 04 at 23:14
	cheaper gettign a 1.6 with TB's basic kit around 160hp

	Would i have to have my ecu remapped/chipped to make it run right?:boggle:
LukeGSi	posted on 24th Jan 04 at 19:47
	get the mantzel and fit NoS IMO would be more fun than i 1.4 turbo convo
Marc	posted on 24th Jan 04 at 19:46
	30bhp increase sounds about right.
Gucci	posted on 24th Jan 04 at 19:43
	I have been on the courtenay sport web site today and decided if i can't sell my car i will tune it up. Was thinking of either getting the mantzel air box for £600 or waiting until the end of the year and getting a turbo fitted (£3000+). Does anyone know much about the reliability of the turbo conversion, they qoute that it would produce around 120bhp which seems a lot for a 1.4.
